Pep Guardiola hailed an outstanding performance as Manchester City secured a 21st straight win with a 4-1 victory against Wolves, but insists his side’s focus now switches straight to Manchester United, who they face live on Sky Sports on Super Sunday.
City struck three times in the final 10 minutes, with Gabriel Jesus grabbing two, as City held off an unexpected Wolves fightback to claim a deserved win at the Etihad Stadium.
The result lifted quadruple-chasing City 15 points clear of Manchester United, who face Crystal Palace live on Sky Sports on Wednesday (kick-off 8.15pm), at the top of the Premier League but manager Guardiola insists nothing is finished yet as he prepares to face United at the Etihad on Super Sunday.
Pep Guardiola praised his Manchester City players for creating so many chances in their 4-1 Premier League win over Wolves.

“I had a feeling we were going to be good,” he added. “I saw this morning the team, how focused they were when we warmed up. I thought they were ready.
“Wolves had one shot on target and got one goal – and after that they had a good five minutes. If you let them run they kill you, they are so good with their pace.
“But in 90 minutes we conceded so few actions to them and we created enough against them. It was an incredibly well deserved victory and a big compliment to the guys, they were outstanding.”
“The record we will talk about in the future. In winter time in England it’s hell and in that time we did something incredible. It’s more than remarkable. The players have all my compliments but Liverpool have the crown. To win the Premier League we need those points.”Pep on City’s winning record
